Medical Xpress / Brain-based index may reveal Alzheimer's risk patterns in adults as young as 30
Over the past few decades, neuroscientists and medical researchers worldwide have been trying to leverage available health records, brain scans and other medical data to uncover biological markers associated with the onset ...
Phys.org / Deforestation lessens Amazon rainfall—and climate change hastens that process, study finds
Climate change makes the southern Amazon's rain increasingly sensitive to deforestation, a new study finds. Clearing large areas of forest can trigger severe and lasting reductions in rainfall regardless of climate, but as ...
Phys.org / Magnetic 'super lenses' open new window on high-temperature superconductors
An international research team, including scientists from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR), has achieved a methodological breakthrough in the study of superhydrides, a promising class of superconductors. For ...
Medical Xpress / Study reveals how parenting styles shape babies' willingness to help others
New research from Durham University shows that the way parents instruct and encourage infants to help plays a key role in how helping behavior develops, and that these approaches vary across cultures.
Phys.org / Dark proteome yields 1,785 new microproteins that could reshape disease research
Scientists have uncovered more than 1,700 new proteins that could have implications for human diseases, including cancer. Mostly very small, these proteins were found in what's called the "dark proteome," which covers gene ...
Phys.org / Colored microplastics could be making global warming worse
There's more bad news about microplastics. We already know they pose a risk to health and can pollute ecosystems, but now researchers have discovered that tiny plastic particles drifting in Earth's atmosphere could be a significant ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists take crucial step in developing world's first measles treatment
Scientists at La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI) are the first in the world to characterize human antibodies capable of neutralizing measles virus. These antibodies bind to key sites on measles virus and prevent the ...
Tech Xplore / Memristor chip merges memory and computing, cutting AI power use by more than half
With a simple click, your hastily taken photo sharpens, a garbled voice message turns into polished text and a chatbot drafts an email in perfect prose. Today's digital tools, enhanced by artificial intelligence (AI), seem ...
Phys.org / Tree communities shape hidden energy flows under European forests
Mixing tree species can lead to better growth in the forest—at least above ground. A new study published in Nature shows that mixed forests had lower activity in the complex belowground ecosystems than previously thought. ...
Phys.org / Magnetic checkerboard separates microparticles by size and sends them along different paths
A team of researchers from the Universities of Tübingen, Bayreuth, and Kassel, and the Polish Academy of Sciences has developed a method for precisely controlling the movement of magnetic microparticles based on their size. ...
Medical Xpress / Brain imaging reveals migraine headache subtypes
They've been described as "brain on fire" or "an ice pick through the head." Migraine headaches affect more than one in 10 Americans, and they're so much worse than a regular headache.
Phys.org / 5th-century Belgian burial with 'scrap metal' may reveal missing link between Roman and Merovingian monetary systems
A study published in the journal Britannia analyzed coins and metal items found in an early 5th-century AD burial in Oudenburg, Belgium. The burial occurred around the same time that base metal coins ceased arriving in northwestern ...
